Question

What is the correct length and width for the rectangle?

Answer 1

Length = 14

Width = 7

Explanation:

Length of a rectangle is twice its width.

let, the width be x, so the length becomes 2x

now the perimeter is 42, and we know the formula to find the perimeter is 2(length+width)

so, 2(2x+x)=42

or, 2×3x=42

or, 6x=42

or, x=7

so the width is 7 and the length is, 2×7 = 14
